Samuel Adekoya, a student of the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Ogun State, has killed himself by drinking some chemical substance after losing both his fees and that of his friend to an online betting.
The deceased reportedly used his school fee to play an online betting on Friday but lost.
Adekoya was a National Diploma II student of Electrical Electronic Engineering, and he committed suicide on Monday, when his colleagues were preparing for their first-semester exam.
He extorted his friend and room mate by getting his password and using his fee to bet but he lost.
However, the school had warned that no student would be allowed to take an exam without completing their registration.
Adegoke was immediately rushed to the school clinic where he was later referred to a specialist hospital outside the school in Ilaro before he was declared dead.
Deputy Registrar, Public Relations of the school, Sola Abiala, said it was detected at the specialist hospital that the late student took a chemical substance.
